    Author: Haas N, Henz BM.
    Journal: Dermatol Surg; 2002 Oct; 28(10):966-7. PubMed ID: 12410686.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: We present here a patient with an unusual type of nail plate pigmentation featuring pseudopod formation. OBJECTIVE: To identify additional dermoscopic criteria. METHODS: Dermoscopy of the nail with control biopsy. RESULTS: Pseudopods of the nail resulted from erythrocytes entrapped between the layers of the nail plate. CONCLUSION: Pseudopod formation of the nail may represent a diagnostic criterion to distinguish hemorrhage and melanoma of the nail apparatus.
